A soul in half

Dora was sure she couldn't love anyone . But with a pinch of magic, a half-hearted soul, and the will to embrace one's true self, anything is possible. Half a Soul is perfect for fans of Bridgerton , Howl's Moving Castle , and Pride and Prejudice looking for a charming historical fantasy. With a new cover by Isadora Zeferino.

As a child, Theodora Ettings was cursed by a faerie to never again feel fear or embarrassment. Because of this, she constantly expects to be embroiled in a major scandal at any moment.

When Dora's cousin invites her to be her companion for the upcoming London season to find the ideal match, Dora's only desire is to behave like a perfect lady according to society: restrained and discreet. However, her goal is threatened when she meets Elias Wilder, the rude and strange English court wizard, better known as the Lord Warlock. Once he discovers Dora's plight and promises to help her, she finds herself immersed in the dangerous wiles and mysteries of both faerie and humankind.

If Dora's reputation survives the curse and her connection to the most detested man in high society, she might feel normal in the world. However, the more time Dora spends with Elias, the more she begins to suspect that it's possible to fall in love, even with a half-sentient soul.
